How bad would it be to accept an offer at firm X after already accepting an offer at firm Y?

Many firms are already recruiting or have finished recruiting, while some haven't even started. What would happen if I accepted an offer now with firm Y, kept interviewing with other firms, and then told firm Y I'm accepting a new offer at firm X?
